INSPECTION PROCEDURE 6: The intermittent wiper interval does not depend on vehicle speed.<Not using SWS monitor>

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

The ETACS-ECU calculates the intermittent wiper interval according to the vehicle speed signal which is sent by the combination meter.

If the intermittent wiper interval does not depend on the vehicle speed, the input circuit of the vehicle speed signal and the ETACS-ECU may be defective.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU
Malfunction of the combination meter
Damaged harness wires and connectors
